Lesson Introduction:
Read through the
paper The Creation of the
Family of God (No. CB4), unless it is read as the sermonette.
Review the basic
concepts of the paper with the children. Children’s questions are in bold.
Q1. Who alone has always existed?
A. The One True God, Eloah, has always
existed (Jn.17:3; 1Jn.5:20).
Q2. Can God die?
A. No, God cannot die. He alone
is an immortal being (1Tim. 6:16). God is saying here: "I will be what
I will become" (from notes in The Companion Bible).
Q3. Is He (Eloah) the first and last?
A. Yes. He is Alpha (which means the beginning) and He
is the Omega (which means the last) (Rev. 1:8).
Q4. What does "I AM WHO I AM” mean from
Exodus 3:14?
A. God is saying here: "I will
be what I will become" (from notes in The Companion Bible).
Q5. Is the Holy Spirit the power of God?
A. Yes, the Holy Spirit is the power of
God, but it did not exist separately from God until
God began the creation. So this separation was the first element of the
creation. The Sons of God were created after that, as the Spirit was essential
for their interaction with the Father. See the
paper What is the Holy
Spirit? (No. CB3).
Q6. How will the creation be “all in all”?
A. Through the Holy Spirit the entire
creation of spiritual and physical beings will become "all in all"
(Eph. 4:6). The Holy Spirit is the substance that ties the entire creation
together with God the Father.
Q7. Did God create many spiritual sons? Is He then the Father of these spiritual
sons?
A. Yes, God created many sons (Deut. 32:8; Job 1:6; 2:1;
38:4-7) and He became God as the Father from the creation or generation of these spiritual sons (Heb. 12:9).
Q8. Do
we know the exact number of the spiritual sons of God?
A. We do not know the exact number of spirit
beings but there are possibly over 100 million (see Dan. 7:9-10; Mat. 26:53;
Lk. 2:13; Heb. 12:22; Rev. 5:11).
Q9. Do the spiritual sons of God know
everything about God’s Plan?
A. No. Even Jesus Christ needed things
revealed to him. That is why Revelation 1:1 states: "the revelation of
Jesus Christ (to John) that God gave him to show his servants things which must
shortly take place".
The spirit beings needed to
demonstrate patience and wait until the Mysteries of God are revealed to humans
(in stages), so then they too can fully understand the Plan of God. The Bible
tells us "there were things that angels desired to look into" (1Pet.
1:12).
Q10. Was Jesus Christ the first one or beginning
of the creation of God in the spiritual and physical sense?
A. Yes, Jesus Christ was the beginning of
the created (or generated) spiritual Sons of God. (Rev. 3:14), and the
first-begotten or first-born physical son of God (Col.1:15). God the Father did the creating.
Q11. Who developed the administrations or organizations
of the spiritual Temple?
A. Christ developed the administrations of
the spirit beings (Col. 1:16).
Q12. Who was slain or known to have to given up
his life for man and the fallen Host from the very beginning?
A. Messiah was the Lamb slain from the
foundation of the world (Rev. 13:8).
Q13. Who was anointed above his partners?
A. Christ was completely loyal to the
Father’s Plan and fulfilled all aspects of the Plan. By his death Jesus Christ
fulfilled his part in redeeming man and Host to the Father. He was anointed
above his companions, or fellow spirit beings (Ps. 45:7; Heb. 1:9).
Q14. What is the first thing God created?
A. The spiritual creation (angels).
Q15. Describe what God’s Throne looks like?
A. Before the Throne there is a sea of
glass like crystal, and in the centre, around the Throne, are the 4 Living Creatures (Rev. 4:6). Jesus Christ is now
sitting at the Father’s right hand (Mk. 16:19; Lk. 22:69; Acts 7:55; Rom.
8:34). Revelation 4 and 5 tell us God
is sitting on His Throne in Heaven with a rainbow around the Throne (Rev. 4:3).
There are also 24 thrones with the 24 Elders sitting on these thrones, clothed
in white garments and with crowns on their heads
(Rev. 4:4). There are seven lamps of fire burning before the Throne. They
represent the seven Spirits of God (Rev. 4:5).
Q16. Is there a congregation or a group of spirit
beings around God’s Throne?
A. Psalm 82:1,8 also talks about God in His congregation and describes how He judges.
Other references to God’s Council are found in Psalm 86:8; 95:3; 96:4,5;
97:7,9; 135:5; 136:2; 138:1.
Q17. Do we have any idea where God’s Throne is?
A. Yes, it is in the sides of the north
from Isaiah 14:13, and 2Corinthians 12:2 tells us it is in the third heaven.
Q18. What
do the seven Spirits before God’s Throne represent?
A. Revelation 1:4 tells us that there are
seven Spirits before God’s Throne. And Revelation
4:5 informs us that there are seven lamps burning before the Throne of God,
which represent the seven Spirits of God. Zechariah 4:3 describes the two olive
trees on the sides of the golden lamp stand with its seven lamps, from which
the Holy Spirit flows through to the Seven Churches. Revelation 1:20 indicates
that the seven lamp stands are the Seven Churches, and the two olive trees are
the Two Witnesses (Zech. 4:11-14).
Q19. Which quadrant or area is each of the four
living creatures responsible for?
A. Lion in the east, man in the south, bull
in the west, eagle in the north (Ezek. 1:5-28; Rev. 4:7-8).
Q20. What do the 24 Elders look like and what is
their “job”?
A. They are dressed in white robes with
gold crowns on their heads (Rev. 4:4); they worship (Rev. 5:8; 19:4) and
monitor the prayers of the saints (Rev. 5:8).
Q21. How many Elders are there in each quadrant?
A. There are six Elders assigned to
each one of the four quadrants or areas (6 x 4 = 24).
Q22. How many beings are there in the Inner
Council or group after Messiah was anointed above his partners?
A. There are 30. 1- God the Father, 1- Messiah, 4- Living
Creatures, 24- Elders (1+ 1+ 4+ 24 = 30).
Q23. How many Elders in the Outer Council? How many in the total Council?
A. 40 Elders in Outer Council; 70 Elders in total Council.
Q24. What else do we know of that has 70 or 72?
A.
There are numerous references
to the number 70 in Scripture. Historically, Moses ordained 70 (Num. 11:24-26).
Even the Sanhedrin (or Council of Elders), which was Israel’s governing
Council, was based on the number 70 (see also Ex. 24:1,9; and Lk. 10:1,17).
Q25. What
did God create first, the angelic Host or the Earth?
A. The angelic Host was created first then
the Earth. (Gen. 1:1; Job 38:4-7).
Q26. Who
was placed in charge of the Earth? What does his name mean?
A. Lucifer (which means light bearer)
and the other Sons of God were placed in charge
of the planet and directed to take care of it
and the people who would be placed on it.
Q27. Was
Lucifer created prefect? Was he at the very Throne of God?
A. Yes, he was created perfect and
functioned as a Covering Cherub at the Throne of God (Ezek. 28:12-15). He was
in the south/man position and was given huge responsibility over God’s
spiritual creation, and later the physical creation. He held the rank of
Morning Star of the planet (Ezek. 28:12).
Q28. Did
Lucifer remain perfect and loyal to God and His Law? Does God “make” any of us
(man or Host) always obey Him?
A. No, Lucifer was perfect until wickedness
or iniquity was found in him (Ezek. 28:15). Lucifer attempted to lead a
rebellion to replace God the Father. He said: "I will make myself like the
Most High" (Isa. 14:13,14). Lucifer and one third of the Host rebelled
against God (Rev. 12:4). Some sources believe that half of the Inner Council
joined with Lucifer in the rebellion against God the Father. God gives man and
Host “free moral agency” which means God allows us to choose to obey or
disobey. God did not make us robots that will always obey Him; we have to want
to obey God and His Law.
Q29. Did
Lucifer’s name remain the same after he rebelled?
A. No, his name was changed to Satan, which
means the adversary, or accuser of the brethren (1Pet. 5:8; Rev.
12:10; Zech. 3:1). An adversary is someone who is always trying to hurt us.
Q30. Did
Satan keep his “job” as Covering Cherub after he rebelled?
A. No, Satan’s role as Covering Cherub over
God’s Throne became vacant after his rebellion (Ezek. 41:18-19).
Q31. Though
the Earth was created perfect did it remain in that state?
A. No, the Earth became formless and empty
(Gen. 1:2). It is thought that this happened when Lucifer rebelled. He and the
fallen Host were cast back to the Earth and it became tohu and bohu,
which means chaotic and empty.
Q32. Was
Satan left in charge of the Earth and future people of the Earth?
A. Yes, Satan is the prince of the power of
the air (Eph. 2:2) and
the god of this world (2Cor. 4:4).
Q33. Who
created the humanoids?
A. There were human-type creatures that lived on the Earth a very long time
ago, and they are referred to as humanoids. They
only had limited things in common with modern
man. They walked on two feet, but they thought and acted very differently from
modern man. They were the creation of the fallen Host. God the Father never
intended for them to be on the Earth. Remember, the angels did not know God’s
entire Plan and this was one of Satan’s many attempts to take over God’s Plan.
The One True God never ordained the creation of these beings; therefore, they
did not have access to God’s Holy Spirit. The Bible tells us this creation will
not be in the resurrection (Isa. 26:13-14).
Q34. How
many days in a week?
A. There are seven days in a week.
Q35. Which
day of the week is the Sabbath? How many days are we to work?
A. The seventh day (Saturday) is the
Sabbath. We are to work on the other six days. The Sabbath, or seventh day is
our time to spend learning of and worshiping the One True God.
Q36. How
many “days” was Satan given to work on the Earth and care for the Adamic or
human creation? What happens when
Satan’s time is finished?
A. God works things out in His time-frame.
God allowed about 6,000 years for the current system under Satan's rule, since
Adam was created. We are nearing the end of that 6,000-year period now. Satan’s
time will be cut short and the 1,000-year millennial reign of Jesus Christ the
Messiah, the new Morning Star of the planet, will soon begin. This is referred
to as the Period of Just Rule.
Q37. Did
God know that some of the spiritual creation would rebel even before He created
them?
A. Yes, God knew everything from the
beginning; He knew some of the spiritual Host would rebel. Therefore, the One
True God, in His infinite love and wisdom, created two systems: one spiritual and one physical.
Each type of being has the capacity and freedom to make choices. Each type of
being has certain responsibilities.
Q38. What
are the specific jobs of the spiritual and physical beings?
A.
The spiritual sons of God are to
help care for humans and the planet. Once humans were created some of spiritual
Sons of God acted as messengers between God and man. We, as humans, are to
worship the One True God, care for our families and the planet, and help all
people to understand the One True God. Both the spiritual and physical systems
are tried and tested in their respective duties.
Q39. Even
before God started to create, did He have a plan of how to reconcile, or bring
back, man and the fallen Host to Himself?
A. Yes, God planned that His spiritual Son,
Joshua or Jesus, would be made human and show us how to live a sinless life,
teach us of God’s Laws and be the perfect acceptable sacrifice (Jn. 3:16; 1
Pet. 1:19,20; Rev. 13:8). Jesus Christ was the perfect and complete sacrifice.
Christ demonstrated faith by giving up his spiritual existence and becoming a
human. He was totally dependent upon the will and power of his God for his life
and resurrection to eternal life. He was totally obedient to his God.
Q40. What
does Deuteronomy 32:8 in the RSV mean?
A. This text means that the One True God
assigned jobs to the 70 Elders of the Sons of God. Jesus Christ the Messiah was
responsible for caring for the nation of Israel. Israel was to learn how to
follow the example of Messiah’s selfless act, and be prepared to lay down their
lives for others. By his death, Messiah redeemed the Host and mankind to the
One True God.
Q41. What
happens when we are baptized?
A. When we are called, repent and are
baptized, we receive the Holy Spirit. We can then go boldly before God’s Throne
in prayer (Heb. 4:16; 10:19-20).
Q42. What
do we mean by the First Resurrection?
A. When Messiah returns, the saints who
have already died will be resurrected first as spirit beings (1Thes. 4:16-17).
Those of the saints alive at Christ’s second coming will meet him in the air
and be changed in an instant (flash) from physical to spirit (1Cor. 15:51-52).
The saints of God are those who have kept the Commandments of God and the
Testimony of Jesus Christ (Rev. 12:17). The Church, the Bride of Christ, will
be married to Jesus Christ, the Messiah, at that time. Those of the First
Resurrection will become spirit beings and rule with Christ on the Earth for
the 1,000 years of the Millennium.
Q43. What
happens to Satan when Messiah returns?
A. Satan will be bound for 1,000 years. At
the end of the 1,000 years of the Millennium,
Satan will once again be released for a short time. Even though people will
have been living happy lives for a long time, some will still rebel under the
influence of Satan after his release. This will be the last rebellion. At that
time Satan and the fallen Host will be removed as spiritual beings and will be
made human (Isa. 14:15-17).
Q44. Why
would God make Satan into a human being?
A. God does not want any of His creation to
fail. Therefore, Satan and the fallen Host will have a second chance (as human
beings) to repent and qualify for the Kingdom of God. However, they will not
regain the responsible positions they had before the rebellion. But it is
better to be in God’s Kingdom in any capacity than not to have access to God’s
Holy Spirit. God is not a respecter of persons and just as humans who did not
qualify for the First Resurrection are given opportunity to do so in the Great
White Throne Judgment, so will Satan.
Q45. What
is the Great White Throne Judgment?
A. After the final rebellion and the
7,000 years are completed, the Great White Throne Judgment will begin. Any
human who did not qualify for the First Resurrection will be given an
opportunity to live God’s way of life in the Second Resurrection. At that time,
the rest of the dead will be brought back to life at the age of 20, as this is
the age when a person becomes an adult. The Second Resurrection is a period of
judgment, which appears to extend over 100 years (Isa. 65:20). Each person will
have 100 years (2 Jubilees of 50 years each) to qualify to be a spiritual Son
of God. It appears that the life of a man in the Second Resurrection is 120
years (see also Eccl. 8:12; Gen. 6:3).
Q46. What
does the hand over to the Father involve?
A. The end will come when Christ hands over
the Kingdom to God the Father after he has destroyed all dominion, authority
and power. Christ must reign until he has put all his enemies under his feet.
The last enemy to be destroyed is death. When he has done this, then the Son
himself will be made subject to God the Father who put everything under him, so
that God may be all in all (1Cor. 15:20-28).
Q47. Will
God’s Throne remain in the 3rd heaven?
A. No. The One True God will move His
Throne to the Earth (Rev. 21:10 ff).
Q48. Do
we know what will happen with the Plan of God from that point on?
A. Scripture does not clearly tell us what
will happen after this period. But what is clear is that the One True God, whom
we love, worship and obey, has set in place a wonderful Plan whereby His
spiritual and physical beings can qualify to become spiritual Sons of God.
Q49. Does
God bless us if we obey Him?
A. Yes. There are many responsibilities
that go with God’s Plan, but the rewards and blessings are numerous.
Q50. Will
the family of God and His Council continue to expand with and following the
First Resurrection?
A. Yes, when Messiah returns we see that
the Marriage Supper takes place (Rev. 19:7-10). It is likely that those who
qualify will be placed in a position in God’s governing Council. For example,
it appears that Moses and Elijah could function in the role of the replacement
of two of the Living Creatures that lost their position when they rebelled.
Abraham and Enoch also were righteous and the four appear to be in positions in
the Council. Abraham and Moses were both referred to as Elohim. We also see
that the 12 Apostles are each assigned a position in the Council of judging one
of the 12 tribes of Israel (Mat. 19:28; Rev. 21:15-16). We can assume that the
12 Judges will also be part of the governing Council.
Q51. When
we look at New Jerusalem do we all come in through one of the 12 tribes?
A. Each tribe would be allocated to an
Apostle with three tribes per quadrant (Rev. 21:12). But these 12 tribes are
not the only descendants of Abraham.
Q52. What
was Abraham’s first son’s name? Were blessings extended to him too?
A. Abraham’s first son was named Ishmael.
His mother was Hagar, the Egyptian handmaid of Sarah (Gen. 16:1). Hagar took a
wife for him from Egypt (Gen. 21:21). Ishmael is referred to in Genesis
16:11,15; 21:20; 39:1 and Judges 8:24. The sons of Ishmael hold a blessing
outside of the promises through Isaac, Israel and Joseph (Gen. 17:19-21).
Q53. What
are the names of the 12 Princes of Ishmael and how will they function?
A. The 12 princes of Ishmael in order of
their birth are: Nebaioth, Kedar, Adbeel, Mibsam, Mishma, Dumah, Massa, Hadad,
Tema, Jetur, Naphish and Kedemah (Gen. 25:13 ff). This will create the
secondary Council of 24 tribes, added to the existing structure of 24 Elders in
God’s Council.
Q54. Who
was Abraham’s second wife or the third woman Abraham had children with?
A. After the death of Sarah, Abraham also had sons with Keturah (Gen. 25:1).
Q55. How
many sons did he have with Keturah?
A. The six sons of Keturah are as follows:
Zimran, Jokshan, Medan, Midian, Ishbak, Shuah.
Q56. How
many descendants did Abraham have?
A. It is interesting to note that Abraham’s
descendants – the 12 tribes of Israel, the 12
tribes of Ishmael, and the six tribes of Keturah
– give one full Council of 30.

B.
Activity: Individual or large chart of the Throne of God
General concepts of the lesson: During the lesson the
concepts are reviewed and children participate by attaching the symbol to the
correct location on each respective template. The teacher reviews the major
Scriptures and themes as each diagram is reviewed and assembled. Afterward
children are able to do a presentation for the congregation of each diagram.
Have the children who read well take the lead with the more complex diagrams.
The child can read the summary of the Scriptures in the text box on the diagram
and add any other material they feel relevant. The instructor can assist by
asking questions of the children to prompt them if concepts have been
overlooked
Children can also be provided with
additional materials that they can work on later such as colouring worksheets
1,2,3,4,7 that correspond to the large diagrams but allow the child to colour
in the spaces. The sheets also serve as a visual and scriptural reference of
the material covered. Also included in the packet was the question and answer
sheet that corresponds to the lesson, matching of Scriptures with texts of CB4,
matching God and His Laws, Apostle worksheet, 2 word searches and a crossword
puzzle.
Materials
needed:
- Diagrams 1,2,3,4,7 of the Throne. Preferably an enlarged
diagram corresponding to each small diagram.
- Pre-cut shapes for each diagram
- Glue sticks per child or double-sided tape if using plastic
template
- Knowledge about the creation of God or review of the paper, The Creation of the Family
of God (No. CB4).
- Supplemental worksheets if it is desired to provide the child
with an activity packet for later use and review. Can include colours or
coloured pencils if the child does not have access to art materials.
- Copies of bookmarks of the Ten Commandments or five
centralities of God, pre-cut paper, stickers and glue if you want to allow
the children to make bookmarks and then hand them to people in the
congregation after their presentation. You can provide fancy scissors;
glitter etc. if you want the bookmakers to be another special focus but
this will require additional time to cut and assemble.
Procedure:
1. Using the diagrams provided, Throne 1,2, 3, 4, and 7, enlarge each
of the diagrams. You can either use paper or clear plastic you put on tables.
If you choose to use plastic you have a reusable template for future years. It
is easiest to make cardboard symbols then trace them on to a template. It is
easiest to work off a square and plan the diagram 7 first since it is the most
complex. You can trace the necessary components from 7 to make the simpler
diagrams. When copying the diagram it is easiest to plan one quadrant first and
just replicate that quadrant three times for the remainder of the diagram.
Using 3 x 5 cards create labels
for each of the diagrams
o Diagram 1 God Alone
o Diagram 2 Spiritual Creation
o Diagram 3 Spiritual Rebellion
o Diagram 4 Christ at God's Right Hand and Spiritual Replacement
o
Diagram 5 Council Expansion; diagram 5
also needs a card for each of the 4 directions that include the 12 sons of
Israel listed in their new placement and 12 sons of Ishmael listed in birth
order placement.
East: Joseph, Benjamin, Dan, Nehaioth, Kedar,
Adbeel;
South: Simeon, Issachar, Zebulun, Mibsam, Mishma, Dumah;
West: Gad, Asher, Naphtali, Massa, Hadad, Tema;
North: Reuben, Judah, Levi, Jetur, Naphish, Kedemah.
2. Cut out
necessary shapes per diagram. It is easiest to keep items needed for each
diagram in a labelled zip-lock bag or envelope.
o Diagram 1 God alone: one blue square for God
o Diagram 2 Spiritual Creation: one blue square for God, 4 Living
Creatures, 7 Spirits of God, 24 Elders
o Diagram 3 Spiritual Rebellion
o Diagram 4 Christ at God's Right Hand and Spiritual Replacement
o Diagram 7 Council Expansion.
o Total items needed:
·
5 squares for God: blue
·
12 rectangles for 4 Living Creatures:
blue
·
2 rectangles for rebellious Living
Creatures: red
·
2 rectangles for replacement Living
Creatures: light blue or leave as outline only on template
·
2 small rectangles for Messiah: purple
·
48 diamonds for 7 Spirits before God's
Throne: yellow
·
72 long ovals for 24 Elders: blue
·
12 long ovals for 12 rebellious Elders:
red
·
12 long ovals for 12 replacement
Elders: light blue or just leave outline on template
·
12 small circles for the 12 Apostles:
blue
·
12 ovals for the 12 Judges: blue
3. Cut out 2 blue circles: a
smaller one to represent the Inner Council and a larger circle to represent the
Outer Council. Cut out 2 red circles the same size as the blue circles. Cut the
smaller circle in half; this represents the Inner Council where one half of the
Host rebelled. Cut out 1/3 of the larger blue circle; this represents the
entire spiritual creation in which 1/3 of the beings rebelled.
- Create a sign that reflects what happened between diagram 3
Rebellion of Satan and the Host and diagram 4 Christ at God's Right Hand
and Spiritual Replacement of rebellious Host.
The sign should
include:
a. Earth became waste and the fallen Host created "manlike
beings" or humanoids.
b. Earth refashioned.
c. Adamic creation.
d. Satan allotted 6000 years to rule the Earth.
e. Messiah returns:
o

Creation of
spiritual beings
Eloah is Creator of all the spiritual beings (Neh. 9:6; Isa. 40:26;
Acts 14:15). The creation of the spiritual was before the physical
(Heb.11:3). Spiritual beings were created perfect (Ezek.28:12).They had
free moral agency and could decide to obey or rebel against God. Revelation
4 describes God’s Throne which is currently located in the 3rd
heaven (2Cor.12:2). It is in the north (Isa. 14:13).
